Chris Botti Tickets

If you were lucky enough to go see the Chris Boti show at the Melody tent on August 8th you saw a variety of soft soothing Jazz sounds mixed with exciting bass solos of Ozzy Ozbournes ironman! Chris played alot of popular tunes and as usual he made it look like playing the trumpet was like making a sandwich-Always the same on the outside but you never know whats going to come out of it. Then the violinist amazed the entire audience with her mello sounds and grace. To top things off Sy Smith also made an appearance and her voice rang out to the angels. It was my first time seeing Chris live and I was speachless! I predict he is going to be the Paul Mc Cartney of Jazz! A legend in the making!

I found Chris to be a very down to earth guy and the band members were outstanding. I plan on attending one of his concerts if he ever goes to Foxwoods or Mohican sun. He was outstanding.

Chris Botti and his band of world class musicians cranked a spirited hour and a half set, Much to the delight of the sold out Hyannis crowd. Botti's trumpet playing was outstanding(as usuall)and he's very personable interacting with the crowd and his band!!!!!!!!Sy Smith (vocals) was great !!!! She's a gifted singer and has great energy!!!! Cant wait to see them all again soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After discovering Chris Botti through his PBS specials, my husband and I became fans of both his incredible talent, his special guests and the talent that he surrounded himself with in his band. The music and the arrangements took our breath away on the evening of August 8. Incredibly talented special guests and the personality of Chris Botti made the night magical. Whether he is spiraling to the screeching high notes or just being that trumpet player behind the singer or the violinist, he is the consumate musician and horn player. The diversity of his music appealed to all ages in the audience. His banter between songs added to the evening by really bringing us into his world and how he came to be who he is now as a performer. Thank you, Chris.

Each of the musicians brought something special to the program. Carolyn was awesome, Ms. Sly was fabulous, and the drummer was amazing. The piano player/ program coordinator was wonderful. NOW CHRIS BOTTI!! I could just keep adding adjectives. He was spectacular. I also loved how he worked the audience and also highlighted each one in the band and the guests and gave them their own time to shine. ONE OF THE BEST CONCERTS I HAVE BEEN TO.

This is my second time seeing him in concert. I really like most of the songs. I'm not a fan of "way out" impovising, so that would be my only criticism. Most songs were not in that vain. All the musicians are very talented and I like the way Chris Botti acknowledges each one and actually removes himself from the spotlight when they're playing their solos. He seems very humble. He's also very entertaining during the segments of his show when he's talking to the audience. Well worth the price of admission.

Chris Botti and Band were terrific! This was truly the best concert I have ever attended! Awesome and unbelievable!!

Great show with extremely talented musicians, Billy Childs(piano) and Bill Kilson(drume) were outstanding. The arrangements and technical expertise of these musicians was smooth and practically flowless. Chris' talent, style, charm and ability to relate to his audiences is second to none....a very fine musician...keep the music coming! Go to see him at the Blue Note in New York this winter! Hope Paula Cole is available to join the band next time.

Chris Botti was his usual magical self, playing with such purity of sound and talking with the audience in such an affable way. His accompanying piano player, Billy Childs is phenomenal as were his drummer and other band members. He brought on special guests including Sy Smith (sp?), the fabulous singer that you may have seen with him before. His regular violinist had an accident injuring her hand. Her replacement, Carolyn Campbell played the violin as I have never heard it before. Her performance was a masterpiece.

Myself, my wife and our daughter (her first concert) went to the Melody Tent in Hyannis, MA on the evening of 8/8/2009 to witness a truly magical evening with Chris Botti and his amazing band. Mr. Botti, or can I be so bold as to call him Chris, has a sincere love of what he does and it just pours out from him in many different levels. The music was as wonderful as the numerous CD's we have and the DVD from Boston but being at a live show adds a whole new dimension that I highly recommend to anyone reading this review. He allowed his band members to display their amazing talents and seemed to be truly appreciative of the quality of musicians with him on stage. Aside from the wonderful music Chris seems to be the REAL DEAL as all his fortune and fame have not clouded his judgement or sincerity in dealing with his fans. He was kind enough to sign autographs and talk to people for quite some time after the show especially taking time to walk over to a few handicapped fans in wheelchairs to take picture and sit and talk for a while with them showing his true down to earth nature.

I became a Chris Botti fan last night. Before last night my wife had bought a CD or two and and I enjoyed listening. However, seeing him perform with the other great musicians on stage was a real treat. Watching jazz happen like that is exciting. At times, it was almost as if the combination of instrumental sounds joining with Chris' trumpet as the lead, seemed to create a level of vocal quality that just seemed to sweep you into the moment. Chris' style on stage in how he engages the other players and the audience is very inclusive. He has an unselfish approach to the music which seems to draw the best out of everyone on stage. His invited quests seemed to just flow into the arrangements without effort and bring the music to a different place. I was rooting for the violin who was simply a wow! After playing under such pressure, it was like she was embraced by all the musicians on stage. All and all, a wonderful evening that I did not expect....

I am his biggest Fan! He is the most talented and beautiful artist that I have ever had the pleasure of seeing. His band totally rocks!!!!!

I loved the fact that you were so close to the stage. I didn't like the fact that you can't bring a camera because I missed out at the end of the show when he was signing autographs and taking pictures. I loved him in Boston and he was great in cape cod too.

Chris Botti was a great performance. From the start to the finish he had amazing energy. He kept the crowd completely engaged!! He spotlighted all of his band and his special guests as well. They all performed so well together. His piano player certainly deserved the 2009 award he received. He tied all of the performers together perfectly. The final encore was a wonderful touch to end on. Back to the basics with only the piano.

Then night before lat I saw Derek Trucks at the Cape Cod Melody tend and rated him 5 stars but the acoustics were awful for this kind of music. Chris Botti was another matter. His performance was mesmerizing, the band was great, and the acoustics were fine for such a quietly tasteful program. In many respects the evening was a repeat of Chris Botti in Boston. The audience was on its feet after the first song and there was never a letdown the entire evening. His band was, as always, extraordinary. And he had two special guests, a female singer from his Boston show, and a substitute violinist who both received standing ovations. This was more than a musical event, it was a night to never forget. Once you've experienced Botti in person you're ready to travel anywhere to see him again.

This was one of the best concerts we have been to in a long time. We look forward to seeing him again

Botti and his band are incredible! They not only play some incredible music but Botti is charismatic and engages the audience. Will definitely see him again. The Cape Cod Melody Tent, on a perfect summer evening is the perfect venue to listen to the jazz music Chris Botti performs.

I HAVE NEVER BEEN TO THE CAPE COD MELODY TENT BEFORE. I WOULD NOT HESITATE TO GO BACK AGAIN. VERY EASY TO FIND. CHRIS BOTTI WAS UNBELIEVABLE.....MY HUSBAND IS NOT REALLY A JAZZ FAN AND NOW HE'S HOOKED....MR. BOTTI HAS A WAY NOT ONLY WITH HIS MUSIC BUT WITH THE AUDIENCE TO MAKE THEM FEEL HAPPY AND RELAXED....WE MORE THAN GOT OUR MONEY'S WORTH.

Their were many a moments when I just leaned forward with my hands holding up my head and not believing I was realy seeing Chris. I didn't realize how great he sounds under the tent. I have all his CD's but nothing sounds the way it did tonight.

Botti was his usual wonderful self. I did not like to sit through one half hour of guitar and a 20 minute intermission to get to him. Also when I saw him at Symphony Hall the sound system was not as loud I found this too much for the tent. To top it off the blockded in parking was not acceptable. Again Botti was wounderful
